What a beautiful dog, I have a Huntaway (new Zealand sheepdog)cross border collie, his intelligence is off the scale, never had a dog that's as quick as working things out, 3 hours exercise a day is hard going though, all off leash and most of it chasing a frisbee.dog (pic8.co)

Thank you. I have 2, both are beautiful and good at different things, neither better than the other, just differing talents, one a herder the other a retriever.

Yea, when i was 14-15 my older brother had a huntaway working dog on a farm in cheviot Canterbury New Zealand - brother suffered a rugby injury and brought it to stay with us for 2/3 months while he recovered. Man, that thing was so quick off the mark and fast it would just run rings around my Mother's two dogs (Labrador and Springer spaniel) all day long.

They are very quick, they aren't so well known here, some farmers are getting into them because of their work ethic, our dogs parents were from a working farm, we try to emulate the exercise he would get from working on a farm in his day to day 3 hour routine. 2 hours in the morning and 1 to 1.5 hours in the evening. His head is more collie than classic huntaway but his body is huntaway, has those powerful hind legs, every inch of him is toned muscle(our retriever is the same as he has to keep up with him), the huntaway weighd in at 26kg and the retriever at 41 he is a very large dog, not fat, has lion paws according to friends, he is something to look at when he's posing, all muscle just like the huntaway. We went from a lab to a huntaway, it was a complete culture shock lol.
Was the huntaway that you encountered only attached completely to 1 master?.
I've seen that in nz they work without human intervention very often, they really are a clever dog. Well most of them are, mine chases trains lol.
Damn, my auto correct went mad, apologies.

Was the huntaway that you encountered only stretched completely to 1 master?.
He was definitely tuned to my brother - It wasn't so much that he couldn't follow commands, just that after a while he seemed to be like 'meh - sure ok, just this time then i'm off again' , Me and my sister would put a lead on and walk (he always wanted to take off) but when he was let off - that was it - it would do his thing and only come back because we would call back the other dogs - it was clear he was deliberately ignoring us and really just seemed restless and a bit unmanageable after a while - prob lack of working. I'm sure he was glad to get back to the farm.
EDIT: Lol i did notice - but i'm half retarded anyway so it was no problem to decipher.

My best friend when I was 10 was a border collie. She was given to me because she wasn't worth beans as a sheep dog. Very smart and loyal pal. She chased sheep, just other people's sheep. Got buckshot from it
